I purchased the Kobalt 60 gallon, two-stage from Lowe’s. It mostly came down to the weight of the Quincy unit, not sure I could handle a nearly 500 lb compressor, and getting anyone to help is problematic.<br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> Now I’m researching after-coolers. I’ve found several ideal using a transmission cooler. I understand that putting it between the compressor and the tank is most effective, but I’m a little hesitant to start re-plumbing my brand new compressor. So I may install it on the outflow. I’ve seen other designs using a series of pipe loops, but space is a bit of concern, so the transmission cooler with a fan to cool is more inline with what I can install.<br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> Any thoughts or experience on aftercoolers would be appreciated!<br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> Thanks,<br clear="none" class="">> Darrell<br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> _______________________________________________<br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> <a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Shop-talk@autox.team.net" href="mailto:Shop-talk@autox.team.net" class="">Shop-talk@autox.team.net</a><br clear="none" class="">> Donate: <a shape="rect" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br clear="none" class="">> Suggested annual donation $12.96<br clear="none" class="">> Archive: <a shape="rect" href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk </a><a shape="rect" href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> Unsubscribe/Manage: <a shape="rect" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/alfuller194@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/alfuller194@gmail.com</a><br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class="">> <br clear="none" class=""><br clear="none" class="">_______________________________________________<br clear="none" class=""><br clear="none" class=""><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Shop-talk@autox.team.net" href="mailto:Shop-talk@autox.team.net" class="">Shop-talk@autox.team.net</a><br clear="none" class="">Donate: <a shape="rect" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br clear="none" class="">Suggested annual donation $12.96<br clear="none" class="">Archive: <a shape="rect" href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk </a><a shape="rect" href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br clear="none" class=""><br clear="none" class="">Unsubscribe/Manage: <a shape="rect" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/dave1massey@cs.com" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/dave1massey@cs.com</a><br clear="none" class=""><br clear="none" class=""></div>
